Martin Luther King

By: Arjun Agrawal

Martin Luther King was an American civil rights leader fighting for colored people, so they can have equal civil rights.

Martin Luther King once said, “The time is right to do what is right.” Right means to do something good for this world. What was right then was to end segregation between people.  Today, in the U.S., all humans are now equal.  

Today, right has a new meaning. We humans need to extend our humanity to other creatures of this world. While I was going to Las Vegas this Christmas, I saw thousands of cows standing to get slaughtered!! The place smelled really bad. This is when I asked questions and researched to find out that we treat animal more cruelly than ever before.

In United States, we are not raising animals in farms any more. They are raised in a factory, in small cages. In these cages, animals can barely move.  Animals are piled up inside the cages which are full of manure. Animals are forced fed things they will never eat. Herbivores are fed grains mixed with meat of other animals. They are injected many drugs to grow them faster and not get sick. Before animals are slaughtered, they are tortured. Chickens are de-beaked alive.

With these factories, we are also polluting the environment. We clear so many forests to raise grains to feed animals.

Demand for meat is making humans hunt animals to the point where they are becoming extinct. Many species of fish and shrimp are endangered. 

Animals need to be raised in farm. The government should pass and enforce laws to stop animal cruelty and to reduce the amount of extinction. We need to eat less meat and promote vegetarianism. This will least reduce cruelty and the pain to other creatures that have equal right to live on this world as we do.  As Martin Luther said, “The time is right to do what is right.” Today time is now right to stop animal cruelty.

Social Anxiety Essay

     My name is Arjun Agrawal. I am a 16 year old teenager in High School. I have received a lot of feedback stating that I have social anxiety and am scared to mingle with strangers. I will be taking three steps towards addressing this. I will play less video games, play more physical games with familiar people, and interact more with strangers.      Firstly, I vow to play less video games. Video games give instant gratification and happiness. This creates addiction. Addictions to video games consume a lot of time. It takes away time from interacting with other people or playing outside. Playing less video games will create much more space for social interaction.      When I am invited to play basketball with my friends, I don't join. This is because I am afraid that I will embarrass myself. Therefore, I dedicate some of my free time playing physical games with familiar people to build confidence. First, I will play basketball with my little brothers outside in my front yard.

TA-14

   John A. Fisher is a concerned parent. He believes that garden education is vital to the future of children.  His article, "Growing the Kinder-Garden" argues that schools should teach garden education. In order to convince his audience, Fisher instills a feeling of guilt, appeals to logos, and uses collective pronouns.      First of all, Fisher instills a feeling of guilt into his audience. He talks about how children in today's society barely know about gardening. He provides a strong point stating that, "if you have a young child, ask him or her where food comes from. Don't be surprised if the answer you get is 'From the store!'" This shows that most children don't know where food truly comes from. They are so isolated from the real world of farming, they think that food comes from the stores. In reality, all food comes from farms and gardens. Kids these days are becoming obese. They're eating manufactured foods instead of natural food

Positive Outlook Essay

     If a glass is filled halfway, is the glass half-full or half-empty? This is a commonly asked question to test a person's outlook. Although both choices are correct, each represents a different outlook. If they say it's half full then they are most likely a positive person. If they say it's half empty then they're most likely a negative person. Having a negative outlook on life can be pretty depressing. However, this is not permanent. It can be fixed. In order to have a positive attitude you must appreciate what you have. You can start out by cherishing nature, cherishing family, and cherishing knowledge.    The world is a beautiful place. You must learn to cherish it. Travelling and hiking are both great ways to appreciate nature. Mountainous landscapes formed by small rivers will amaze you. You don't have to go far to embrace nature. Every morning there is a beautiful sunrise right in your backyard. Chances are, if it in your backyard, it is everywhere. How
